"Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple/Won't let nobody hurt you/Won't let no one break your heart. Then she brings the song away from herself again. She realizes it is not like home, it is scary, "Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up/I could still be little/Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up The next verse she is "in my new apartment/In a big city, they just dropped me off/It's so much colder that I thought it would be/So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on". Cant you b a sweet child forever Will you nevr ever ever grow up for me. And then mentions herself, "I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone". She mentions her little brother, "remember the words said/And all your little brother's favorite songs". When I grow up, in a long, long time, When I grow up, in a long, long time, When I grow up, in a long, long time, Just you watch me, Ill go. When I grow up Theres a lot I want to do. When I grow up In a year or two or three, Ill be happy as can be Like a birdie in a tree. She then starts talking about herself in the middle part of the song, "Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room/Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home". Gosh oh gee oh cant you see, Ill soon be grown up tall, So Ive got to think what I will be When Im no longer small. Flowers begin as seeds and then start growing up, up, up so colorful. The second verse, the child is 14, "You're in the car on the way to the movies/And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off/But don't make her drop you off around the block/Remember that she's getting older too". The seed starts to grow, reaching down with its roots. In the first verse she talks about a little baby, "Your little hand's wrapped around my finger".
